Video: White Bean Chicken Breast Chili

In this video, you’ll see how to make white bean chili using chicken breast meat. The trick here is to cook the chicken breasts in just a small amount of vegetable oil, leaving behind the flavorful browned chicken bits, and then deglaze the pan. You’ll also see how to give your chili a little extra body. You can use chicken thighs here, too, but chicken breasts have less fat; and this chili is so flavorful with garlic, ancho and chipotle chili powders, cayenne, cumin, and oregano, you won’t miss the fat.
